in Heidelberg,

I dare you to cross that bridge
This is the entrance to Burg Wildenstein (a fortified spur castle, around 800 years old, in the south of Germany, the south of the Black Forest, used as a youth hostel today). It’s the only access, more or less even ground with the parking. Innocuous, you might think.
Still fairly harmless from this view. A bridge. The castle is situated on the edge of a steep hillside. So this is really the only access.
This is what it looks from below. And directly below.
It was a unassailable obstacle. The castle walls were never breached.
Except by fair maidens carrying beer.
